is trying to teach philosophy to speak in German.

Hegel described his work as "an attempt to teach philosophy to speak in German." 2 He succeeded.

is the new Christ bringing the word of truth to men.

The future society is to be the work not of the heart, but of the concrete.

is responsible for having introduced mobility into logic.

Hegel attempted to introduce mobility into logic, which, said Kierkegaard, is itself an error in logic. The greatest of Hegel's errors, however, was his claim that he had established the objective theory of knowledge. Kierkegaard countered with the argument that subjectivity is truth. As he put it, “The objective uncertainty maintained in the most passionate spirit of dedication is truth, the highest truth for one existing." … Kierkegaard, it remains to be said, is not a systematic theologian. We know what he thought of systems and system makers, of which Hegel was the prime example. There is hardly a page in his writings that does not prompt from the systematically minded reader a protest against disconnections and apparent contradictions. Like Flannery O'Connor, he shouted to the hard of hearing and drew startling pictures for the almost blind.

is the thinker who introduced a "historically reflective" dimension in philosophy.

attacks the idea of immediacy, the thought that language or thought can relate to the world directly.

Hegel attacks the idea of immediacy, the thought that language or thought can relate to the world directly.

's philosophy centered upon metaphysics, While Kant’s concerns centered upon epistemology.

Georg W. F. Hegel’s philosophy is another fundamentally Counter-Enlightenment attack on reason and individualism. His philosophy is a partially secularized version of traditional Judeo-Christian cosmology. While Kant’s concerns centered upon epistemology, Hegel’s centered upon metaphysics. For Kant, preserving faith led him to deny reason, while for Hegel preserving the spirit of Judeo-Christian metaphysics led him to be more anti-reason and antiindividualist than Kant ever was.

's philosophy is a partially secularized version of traditional Judeo-Christian cosmology.

is a thinker for whom the difference between what a thing is and how it appears is internal to the subject.

But even this “weak correlationist” gap was too much for Hegel. For Hegel, the difference between what a thing is and how it appears is internal to the subject, which in the largest sense for him is Geist, that magical Slinky that can go up stairs all the way to the top, where the Prussian state hangs out.
